A collection of passages revealed by Bahá'u'lláh in Bag̲h̲dád in 1858. The Hidden Words, which Shoghi Effendi termed a 'marvelous collection of gem-like utterances' were revealed as Bahá'u'lláh 'paced, wrapped in His meditations, the banks of the Tigris'. The book consists of seventy-one passages in Arabic and eighty-two in Persian, and was originally called the 'Hidden Book of Fáṭimih'. In Shí'ih Islam, the 'Hidden Book of Fáṭimih' is believed to have been dictated to the Imám 'Alí by the Angel Gabriel to console Muḥammad's daughter Fáṭimih after the Prophet's death. The 'Hidden Book of Fáṭimih' is thought to be in the possession of the awaited Qá'im.
[BD 102]
